Honduras El Puente Duo

The Catuaí variety was first introduced to Honduras in 1979, and for a time was thought to account for nearly half of all Arabica coffee grown in the country. It’s a variety valued for its high output and comforting flavor profile, though its cup quality depends significantly on its climate and cultivation. Marysabel and Moisés are trusted across the globe for their demonstrated ability to produce exceptional coffees of all varieties. We are excited to showcase this Catuaí lot alongside their prized Gesha as testament to the caliber of El Puente’s operations.

Marysabel and Moisés first began growing Gesha-variety coffee at their farm in southwestern Honduras in 2006 using a batch of seeds from Panama. Though the variety has Ethiopian origins, its fame can be attributed to this particular Panama cultivar, which has fetched record breaking prices at auction for two decades. After careful cultivation, El Puente had its first successful harvest in 2010 and has been producing exceptional Gesha ever since. This washed lot from their 2024 harvest showcases the delicate flavors that the variety is famous for.

Between them, Marysabel and Moisés possess a wealth of knowledge and experience, not to mention enormous warmth and sincerity. Their unstoppable determination toward excellence, their willingness to experiment in order to drive the industry forward, and their genuine passion for specialty coffee cultivation make it our great honor to roast these varietals this season.
